Thanks to Vanessa at Vanessa Unplugged for including me on her list of 5 Rockin’ Girl Bloggers. I’m flattered to be included on the list, and the timing is perfect, since I’m not going to Blogher this year (sniffle!), but have blog friends I met there last year who are definitely rockin’ girl bloggers, too!
The Rockin’ Girl Blogger award is the brain child of Roberta Ferguson over at Blogging Made Devilishly Simple. The idea is to pass the award on to five deserving blogging sisters, building some community as we go.
Like Vanessa, choosing only five is difficult, but I’m going to try. 
I have a special blog category in my RSS reader for the blogs I always read first. Many of the folks I regularly refer to and link to here reside there — Liz, Kmilyun, Denise, Lee, etc. Here are five more in that special category that are truly rockin’.
- Kris is a Mom on a Mission. I love her Flickr photos and also her stories about raising boys in this crazy world. Watch that Flickr set, because she’s headed to Maui — one of the true wonders of the world.
- Katharine is EditorMom, who lives in the house of AD/HD raising two sons and occasionally sharing her adorable granddaughter with us. Katharine is a kindred spirit — she’s not afraid to write what she thinks with the strength of her beliefs behind it. And act on those beliefs, too.
- Donna at SoCal Mom is someone I’ve actually met, along with her Spouse Who Shall Not Be Named (but goes by Sir Baldilocks over on Flickr —
). If you want travel info, her blog is a great resource. It’s also great for reading the behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the entertainment business, or just taking a minute to read about her awesome daughter’s accomplishments in gymnastics. - Marie at Disarranging Mine has great photos of Springfield, Illinois in addition to some great del.icio.us links and blog posts. Now…Marie and I go waaaaaaaay back, but we’d lost touch. We were co-workers back in the CNN days, and then during the great Internet community diaspora of 2001, lost touch. She ran across me in a comment on Dave Winer’s blog and came on by. How wild is that?
- Mary Beth over at Supafine is another Blogher friend who just blogged her pregnancy with her second son more elegantly than you could possibly imagine. She sews, remodels, takes great photos and manages two little kids — one two; the other three months. She definitely rocks.
Finally, I’d like to give an honorary Rockin’ Blogger Girl award to Dancergirl, who has been sporadic about blogging lately, but has picked up the blogging gauntlet once again and recounted her experience in her own words (with her own special flavor of spelling and grammar, too) with AGT. She also takes terrific pictures and writes poetry that I really enjoy…So she gets my Up and Coming Rockin’ Girl Blogger award.
